All-round show by Yasir
LAHORE,April21: An all-round performance by Yasir Arafat helped PCB Whites their unbeaten run at Gaddafi Stadium here on Monday. PCB Whites achieved their fourth straight victory by defeating PCB Blues by 71 runs with stand-in skipper Yasir leading the way. The all-rounder hammered a scintillating 70 after his team were in dire straits at 109 for five. But in the end, PCB Whites finished with a commendable total of 267 for nine.
Wicket-keeper Amin-ur-Rehman (34) helped Yasir put on 82 priceless runs for the sixth wicket after Sufian Munir had contributed 45 off 52 balls.
PCB Blues, in reply, were bundled out for 196 in 46.1overs despite a dazzling innings of 60 by Salman Qadir.
Yasir bowled a tidy spell with his brisk medium-pacers to claim two for 12 in five overs. Left-arm medium-pacer Wahab Riaz, however, was the pick of the bowlers with three for 36.
Test reject Shadab Kabir, who was initially overlooked when the list of probables was announced last week, turned up for the match along with 10 new faces but made only five runs.

Nauman, Khalid guide PCB Yellows to victory
LAHORE, April 21: **A magnificent century by Naumanullah, who shared 171-run second wicket partnership with Khalid Latif, propelled PCB Yellows to their first victory in the trial series at LCCA Ground on Monday. **
Thanks to Nauman’s brilliant knock PCB Yellows defeated PCB Greens by four wicket in a high-scoring match. The tall right-hander hit 130 off 141 deliveries with the aid of 16 fours and one six that was instrumental in helping his team chased a target of 269.
